Yes, Miami heat would be the underdog. But only because LeChoke didn't take the team to where they were expected to be, aka 70 wins season. In other words, they underachieve in regular season and his MVP is undeserving.
Because people are generally salty little douchebags. I've yet to find anyone who could give me a good justification for their Lebron hate. They're all just on the bandwagon because they're upset about summer 2010.
I don't hate him (don't know him personally), but I strongly dislike him due to the following reasons: - The Decision. I don't hold leaving Cleveland against him (I do consider it kind of weak however), but the Decision was stupid, unnecessary, and a completely douche move. Those barking about charity? There are way more classy, mature, and just better ways to raise money for charity and announcing a decision. I found that just a really douche move by him. - Antics on the court. I like players that are mature and collected. I dislike players that act like clowns and that includes Howard as well. - Hypocritical double standards when it comes down to fouls. Guy gets the most dubious calls and constantly travels, yet has the audacity to constantly whine about them. I am sure there are more, but those are just off the top of my head. I don't hold it against him for fleeing to the Heat and playing Robin to Wade, I just don't respect him for it.
The only thing I "hate" are L James fanbois that have their heads so far up his butt they can't fathom that people are allowed to not like the same players they like. for once, I agree with RRacoon.
